Tips on storing fresh food

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:

• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

Storing into the refrigerator compartment

• Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C.
• Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance.
• Foods stored in the refrigerator should be washed and dried before storing
• Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations.
• Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold air flowing around them, for a better and more homogeneous cooling.
• Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.
• Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air flowing. In special way don’t store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against rear wall. Avoid direct contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the inner liner, as oil/acid can erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt whenever it is found.
• Frozen food can be gently defreezed in the refrigerator compartment or with Defrost function in the MyZone box. This saves energy.
• The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons, papaya, banana, pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is not advisable to store them in the refrigerator. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits can be promoted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables should also be stored at room temperature.
• Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and cleaning is required. See CARE AND CLEANING.
• Different foods should be placed in different areas according to their properties ( Fig.: 5.12.1).

1. Butter, cheese, eggs, spices, etc.
2. Eggs, canned food, spices, etc.
3. Jam, cheese, tomato sauce, etc.

10. Moist Zone box: Fruit, vegetables, salad, etc.

Storage into the freezer compartment

• Keep the freezer temperature at- 18°C.

• 24 hours before freezing switch on the Super-Freeze function; – for small quantities of food 4-6 hours are sufficient.

• Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer compartment.

• Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook. The recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg

• It is better to pack food before putting it into the freezer. The outside of the packaging must be dry to avoid bags sticking together. Packaging materials should be odour-free, airtight, non-poisonous and nontoxic.

• In order to avoid expiration of storage periods, please note the freezing date, time limit and name of the food on the packaging according to the storage periods of different foods.

• WARNING!: Acid, alkali and salt etc. could erode the internal surface of the freezer.
  Do not place the food having these substances (e.g. sea fish) directly on the internal surface. Salt water in the freezer should be cleaned up immediately.

• Do not exceed the food storage times recommended by the manufacturers. Only take the required amount of food out of the freezer.

• Consume defrosted food quickly. Defrosted food cannot be re-frozen unless it is first cooked, otherwise it may bless edible.

• Do not load excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer compartment. Refer to the freezing capacity of the freezer – See TECHNICAL DATA or data at the type plate.

• Food can be stored in the freezer at a temperature of at least -18°C for 2 to 12 months, depending on its properties (e.g., meat: 3-12 months, vegetables: 6-12 months)

• When freezing fresh food, avoid bringing it in contact with already frozen food. Risk of thawing!

When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these guidelines:

• Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for the length of time you should store food for. Do not exceed these guidelines!
• Try to keep the length of time between purchase and storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.
• Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a temperature of –18 °C or below.
• Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the packaging – This indicates that the products might have been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point – temperature rises affect the quality of food.

Energy saving tips

• Make sure the appliance is properly ventilated (see INSTALLATION).
• Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or in the near of heat sources(e.g. stoves, heaters).
• Avoid unnecessarily low temperature in the appliance. The energy consumption increases the lower the temperature in the appliance is set.
